Cots for newborns

A cot for a newborn is undoubtedly a necessary thing. However, if you are afraid of leaving the child alone in bed for some reason, or simply decided that it is necessary, your right. In this article we will try to prove to you that buying a bed for a small one is a really worthwhile event.

Some mummies are sure that if the child sleeps with her, he will be more calm and full. The feeling of a mother's heartbeat should calm the child, and he will stop crying in the process of feeding. Of course, all this is true. However, remember how many times you woke up and how tired you were after that.

At first glance it seems that when the baby is crying, it will be necessary to run to the cradle and eliminate the cause of crying. And here the child at hand and dangle is not needed anywhere. Of course, this is true. But you must admit that it is better to get up 2-3 times per night than to not close your eyes until the child eats. And he can do it all night long - you won’t know.

Another important factor is that it is easy to teach a baby to fall asleep with mommy, but it is difficult to wean. In this case, the bed may not need a long time. In some cases, such a moment in life can take up to 5-6 years. This is not very convenient, even from the point of view that there is a dad in the family, but he also lacks mother's caress.

So, with the purchase of a crib for newborns, the following positive aspects appear in your life:

• The infant sleeps separately and hardly wakes up, and you will begin to get enough sleep.
• The baby will no longer need to wean sleep with his parents, he will not be afraid to sleep alone.
• There will be a personal life after the birth of the baby.

Below are the options for cribs for babies. Almost any of these models is used with a canopy - this device not only protects the baby from various insects and drafts, but also from dust, bright light, and also plays the role of protection from noise and large spaces.

This is the classic version of the bed for babies. In such a cradle, the baby will grow from the first days of his life to a year. It can be rocked from side to side, while the baby will calm down. Then the skids can be removed and set the crib on stable legs. In this position, it will serve a couple of years.

There are three such options:

• One common bed with a separator. This option is not suitable for small apartments, because it is quite wide. In this model, sleeping space is divided by a roller.
• The cradles. There are ordinary and dual models, as well as suspended, on wheels and on rocking chairs. This is a portable version of the crib, takes up little space and is easily rearranged to any other.
• Arena bed. The height of the cradles in this model is adjustable. The basis is the playpen. When the kids become older, the cradles are removed, and the playpen is used for its intended purpose. Is a folding model.

This modification of children's furniture is very convenient. It can be easily turned into a sofa by removing one sidewall and make the bedside option of children's furniture.You can lie quietly on your bed and watch your little one play. Such models are usually painted with non-toxic food-grade paint and are made of quality wood species.

Such a model is interesting in that it combines a children's and adult sleeping place in bunk beds. The lower part is made of natural wood without any impurities. The attic has a built-in dresser, and a staircase is provided for climbing to the second floor.

This model is divided into two types: on added and suspended. Suspended bed is attached to the bed of the parents, and the side option is adjustable to the height of the parent bed.

Another name for this variant of children's paraphernalia is a mattress-bed with retaining straps. This attribute can always be taken with you, and it will completely replace the child in the first days of his life bed.

The original design of the bed of the baby is suitable for a children's room in a nautical style. Future captain or cabin boy - let him choose himself. In the meantime, this cradle will be comfortable not only for him, but also for his mother. After all, the bed has a number of positive qualities:

The following describes the models that are more suited to medical equipment, rather than to the beds, which are used by parents.

The bed for a newborn baby has its own standard sizes according to Russian standards, this is 120x60 cm. Taking into account the walls of the bed, the whole structure will have slightly larger dimensions: 128x68 cm. European manufacturers produce such beds with some difference in size: 125x65 cm.

For some reason, this option may not be suitable for you (for example, you don’t want to buy another baby bed again after three years). Then we recommend to look at another, no less interesting modification of the crib for infants.

Its dimensions are 140x70 cm. It also has a height adjustment, like the standard model. But besides this, there is a drawer for toys or baby things at the bottom of the crib. The life of such a baby headset can reach up to 7 years.

Most of the beds for newborns are made from natural materials - these are different types of wood. The strength can be considered the best option beech. Birch, maple and alder, although cheaper, but in terms of quality are almost as good as beech. Pine stands out from the softest species, but it is cheaper.

In addition to wooden models, other, cheaper materials are used in the manufacture of cots for babies. For example, such materials include metal, MDF, chipboard and plastic. If you like the model of the crib, made of metal or plastic parts, then ask for a quality certificate from the seller.

Used in the manufacture of cots, MDF is distinguished by its durability and safety, since no harmful resins are added to them in production. Chipboard refers to fragile materials, and often it is harmful - during the production of products can be added formaldehyde.

The color palette for the bed is selected on the basis of a given theme of your room. It should be in harmony with the general interior. But often this possibility may not be. Then accessories for the bed will come to the rescue, which will easily fill in the missing harmony in the general background.

Also, do not forget that the color affects the emotional state of the baby.

Such a palette soothes the child, while bright colors negatively affect the psyche of the infant. It is not recommended to use in everyday life dark colors.

• Decorate the room where the crib will be located, with plants - the air in the room will become ionized.
• Side wall - the best location of the bed. It is not recommended to install it in front of the front door.
• Do not place the child’s sleeping place near mirror and reflective surfaces. The child may begin night terrors and trouble falling asleep. The TV screen is better to cover at night with a cloth.
• Do not put things under the crib. Even the same pot can create stagnant energy while falling asleep.

Also do not place the bed in the following cases:

• In a draft.
• In direct sunlight.
• Near the window.
• Under the bright chandelier.
• In a place where a lot of wires.
• In a zone where many people pass.

• The very first version of the model for a newborn should not be large - A cradle or anatomic cocoon bed is fine. After three months, the bed will have to be replaced with a more suitable size.
• Crib dimensions. This criterion is especially important, because it is, above all, the safety of the baby and his mother. A children's suite should easily fit in an adult's bedroom, since mommy needs to go to the cot without any problems, without stumbling on corners or other furniture, and take the baby in her arms.
• The distance between the twigs. Some models have twigs, the distance between them should not exceed 6 cm. If the distance is longer, then the baby’s head may be stuck between them.
• Baby should be comfortable and spacious in a new crib.

A variety of designs of cots for newborns generates a variety of reviews. Each model is individual in its own way. Make a general conclusion about the quality of the beds is not possible.

Perhaps the only thing that can be distinguished from the mass of consumer statements is the dependence of price on quality.The more expensive the crib is, the more functional it is and the more qualitative its construction and materials used in it. Therefore, acquiring cheap products, parents risk getting a not-so-high-quality product.
